I dont have a 911, just moving to a Cayman imminently. I think the evolution just looks great, you can lose yourself in it for a minute or two. About the BMW, it is a good car but the E90 is getting on a bit.

Say what you want but drinking at lunch time in Europe is common place. I worked for Kodak for 25 years and when in France they actually had 1/5th's of wine for sale in the cafeteria ON THE PREMISES RUN BY KODAK Pathe' !!! We used ot down a fifth bertween 2 of us then go have a few espressos, then back to work !! First couple of times for me I had trouble staying awake even after all that caffeine !!

So the drinking part should not be a real issue here...... the pot on the other hand .....

Why do people keep bringing up CEO's doing coke? That has nothing to do with this. ANYBODY drinking or doing drugs on the job is worthless IMO. I'm an R.T. at a regional hospital and I can somehow make it through an entire day without once sipping a beer or toking a pipe. Amazing huh! Stop making excuses for these low-lifes.

This is a Union problem, not a Chrysler problem. Chrysler shouldn't have to send people after their workers on their lunch breaks to make sure they aren't getting lit. And these are the same pieces of crap that only have jobs because we funded them!

Sorry man not making excuses just saying its more common then people think... Its flat out disgusting..

My Dad was laughing because the news crew ran up on them and those works ran away to work on cars high.... The news crew should have called the cops.. Then ran up on the workers.

It seems that way to me too. The whole thing just seems like really bad acting from everyone.

None of them noticed news crews filming them for days, including inside the liquor stores? No one noticed the news crew until the reporter was walking up to them? Come on now...

Look up the JDPower ratings before saying something like that please. A vast majority of American marques are well above BMW in the reliability department.
